The Cuban influencer Diliamne Jouve, better known as La Dura, did not hesitate to answer several questions from her followers during a Q&A session that has been generating a lot of buzz. One of her most discussed responses was her reaction to a follower who confessed to feeling disappointed by people who completely change upon arriving in the United States. An experience that, according to the influencer, she has also personally encountered.
It all started with the question: “What do you think of the people who come to this country and completely change? I’m disappointed.” La Dura responded without hesitation:
"United States is a country where many people completely transform, and that's okay. The important thing is not to forget where you come from and to always maintain humility." He added: "People don't change, they just stop pretending. This has even happened to me with followers who, from Cuba, told me they admired me; today they are here and behave completely differently. That's why I learned not to be impressed by words, but by real actions."
While sharing these written messages, the influencer delved even deeper in a video, where she reflected on the mental transformation that comes with emigrating to the United States: “Yes, it changes a lot, and people change significantly. Especially if you are someone who wants to succeed. It is valid, but we must always remain humble, especially with those who have helped us.”
La Dura also confessed that, precisely because of these disappointments, she has chosen to maintain a very limited social circle: “I don’t like to be disappointed by people, and I have been quite disappointed. That’s why I try to keep myself well closed off, in as healthy an environment as possible.”
In his final reflection, he was blunt in stating that often it is not about real changes, but rather a revelation of true personality: “Those people who were one way in Cuba and another in the United States didn’t change; they have always been that way. It’s just that now they have what you have, they live in the same country, and they behave differently.”
Although he clarifies that one cannot generalize, he also warns that not everyone maintains humility:
“We don’t want to generalize, but unfortunately not everyone keeps their feet on the ground.”
The words of La Dura have resonated with many of her followers, addressing a sensitive issue for the Cuban community in exile: the difficulty of maintaining personal relationships when the migration process and the desire for improvement radically change the priorities and attitudes of those who immigrate. For others, her statements could be interpreted as a subtle reference aimed at specific individuals, which has sparked even more speculation and comments on social media.
